Talking to npcs, and they'll do a shrug or roll their head and get stuck in that position. So they'll have their head bent backwards or their jaw unhinged the entire time they're talking to me. Kind of creepy, actually.

That's one of the two reasons why casters are at the top of my "Unalive ASAP" list. The second is because I hate the fire DoT, and I'm not even a Vampire (contrary to my username).
Another favourite mage trick of mine is the no-clip fireballs of death. Defying even logical physics, these fireballs pass through an invisible portal to Oblivion before being spat out moments later, on the other side of the gigantic boulder I hid behind. A sight to behold, that; to see a fireball appear from the rock face like some dark magic summoned it there. I've had the same dark magics occur with thrown knives, clearly thrown with such speed and accuracy that they not only slipped into another dimension, but they also manage to hit me from a distance far greater than one would expect. If the Vestige were half the marksman some of these enemies appear to be, Molag Bal and his Worm Cult wouldn't stand a chance, immortal Daedra or not!
NPC of the Year award goes to the NPC Khajiit standing outside of Khenathri's Roost bank building, the one that always catches a glance at my Khajiit. Apparently, my Khajiit has a face that could curdle milk. This one feels like replacing Khajiit's helm with a mirror, so this one could show the other Khajiit that his face could not only curdle milk, but also make an Orc vomit.
Mudcrab spasms of death. I go around every now and then, enacting mass murder upon the chitinous mudcrab people, and every few deaths a mudcrab will continually spasm as if in the throes of death despite having a readout of 0 on it's health bar. It's as though an electric current was running through it, quite amusing; considering my Nighblade employs dual wield, assassination and siphon abilities to kill, not lightning.
I've encountered the unerringly creepy dislocated neck NPCs as well, but my favourites are the ones that refuse eye contact. Whether by respect or fear, I don't know what it is. It does make me wonder, am I that much of a enigma, that not even a hardened soldier NPC is able to maintain eye contact for the duration of a conversation?

I can understand your frustration with fireballs passing through objects even though my main is a sorcerer. This happens in pve too when combating enemy npc. Arrows & anything staff related can go around corners, through pillars & rocks. Just as frustrating as knocking a daedric or undead enemy over with silver bolt only to find they manage to fire off a shot while laying stunned on the ground.
